Richard Phillips, a name that can refer to various individuals, is perhaps most notably known as the captain of the Maersk Alabama, a cargo ship that was hijacked by Somali pirates in 2009. His experience during the hijacking and the subsequent U.S. Navy rescue operation were depicted in the film "Captain Phillips," in which Tom Hanks portrayed him.
